Cellosaurus is now available in RDF format, with a triple store that supports SPARQL queries If this sounds a bit abstract or unfamiliar… 1) RDF stands for Resource Description Framework. Think of RDF as a way to express knowledge using triplets: Subject – Predicate – Object. Example: HeLa (subject) – is_transformed_by (predicate) – Human papillomavirus type 18 (object) These triplets are like little facts that can be connected together to form a graph of knowledge. 2) A triple store is a database designed specifically to store and retrieve these RDF triplets. Unlike traditional databases (tables, rows), triple stores are optimized for linked data. They allow you to navigate connections between biological entities, like species, tissues, genes, diseases, etc. 3) SPARQL is a query language for RDF data. It lets you ask complex questions, such as: - Find all cell lines with a *RAS (HRAS, NRAS, KRAS) mutation in p.Gly12 - Find all Cell lines from animals belonging the order "carnivora" More specifically we now offer from the Tool - API submenu 6 new options: 1) SPARQL Editor (https://lnkd.in/eF2QMsYR). The SPARQL Editor is a tool designed to assist users in developing their SPARQL queries. 2) SPARQL Service (https://lnkd.in/eZ-iN7_e). The SPARQL service is the web service that accepts SPARQL queries over HTTP and returns results from the RDF dataset. 3) Cellosaurs Ontology (https://lnkd.in/eX5ExjMe). An RDF ontology is a formal, structured representation of knowledge. It explicitly defines domain-specific concepts - such as classes and properties - enabling data to be described with meaningful semantics that both humans and machines can interpret. The Cellosaurus ontology is expressed in OWL. 4) Cellosaurus Concept Hopper (https://lnkd.in/e7CH5nj4). The Concept Hopper, is a tool that provides an alternative view of the Cellosaurus ontology. It focuses on a single concept at a time - either a class or a property - and shows how that concept is linked to others within the ontology, as well as how it appears in the data. 5) Cellosaurus dereferencing service (https://lnkd.in/eSATMhGb). The RDF dereferencing service is the mechanism that, given a URI, returns an RDF description of the resource identified by that URI, enabling clients to retrieve structured, machine-readable data about the resource from the web in different formats. 6) Cellosaurus RDF files download (https://lnkd.in/emuEYnMD). This allows you to download the Cellosaurus RDF files in Turtle (ttl) format.

The Cross-Domain Interoperability Framework (CDIF) is designed to support FAIR implementation by establishing a ‘lingua franca’, based on existing standards and technologies to support interoperability, in both human- and machine-actionable fashion. CDIF is a set of implementation recommendations, based on profiles of common, domain-neutral metadata standards which are aligned to work together to support core functions required by FAIR. This report presents a core set of five CDIF profiles, which address the most important functions for cross-domain FAIR implementation.  Discovery (discovery of data and metadata resources) Data access (specifically, machine-actionable descriptions of access conditions and permitted use) Controlled vocabularies (good practices for the publication of controlled vocabularies and semantic artefacts) Data integration (description of the structural and semantic aspects of data to make it integration-ready) Universals (the description of ‘universal’ elements, time, geography, and units of measurement). Each of these profiles is supported by specific recommendations, including the set of metadata fields in specific standards to use, and the method of implementation to be employed for machine-level interoperability. A further set of topics is examined, establishing the priorities for further work. These include: Provenance (the description of provenance and processing) Context (the description of ‘context’ in the form of dependencies between fields within the data and a description of the research setting) Perspectives on AI (discussing the impacts of AI and the role that metadata can play) Packaging (the creation of archival and dissemination packages)  Additional Data Formats (support for some of the data formats not fully supported in the initial release, such as NetCDF, Parquet, and HDF5).  In each of these topics, current discussions are documented, and considerations for further work are provided.
